Wow! the 13th Annual Roberts Creek Community Christmas Dinner was amazing!  Thanks to this year's organizers - Greg + Nancy. Thanks also to the "main meal" cooks - headed up by Robbie- plus all those who helped set up, clean up and tear down. There were about 180 people who came out for another wonderful 'creek event.  Hats off to Trish - for helping such a great tradition get rooted in our community.

Thanks to all the volunteers and vendors who  helped make the 42nd Annual RCCA Christmas Craft Fair such a great success.  Together we helped raise over $4900 for the RCCA!  The 3 raffle prizes went to good homes - so, congratulations to the prize winners, and thanks to the vendors for donating such great gifts.

Thanks to the Sunshine Coast Credit Union who have generously donated $500 to the RCCA for new equipment at the Hall!  It's this kind of community support that ensures the Hall has the equipment and resources it needs to run smoothly for all of us. 

Thanks also to the SCRD for their ongoing support of the Roberts Creek Hall and the Reading Room.  The SCRD Grant-in-Aid program helps the RCCA maintain both buildings and bring needed improvements to fruition.
